Saturday 1st December
We were all very slow to start our day.
Sharon cooked us up a delicious breakfast and then we all got ourselves into our glad rags and finally headed off into Waimate around midday.
We called into visit an old friend of Tim's for an hour before the wedding.
She was delighted to see us and despite being quite elderly, insisted on making us all morning tea.
We did justice to her cream & jammed pikelets
We did the finishing touches to our clothes and shoes and left just a few minutes before 2pm.
I didn't want to arrive after the bride like we did when her eldest sister got married!
But thankfully the bride was late.
The St Patrick's Basilica in Waimate is a fine piece of architecture and apparently the stained glass windows are renown far and wide.
Congratulations Mr & Mrs David Sutherland
Olivia & Genevieve are the youngest of the family and are especially close.
I love the look between them I have caught in this photo.
The proud mothers (sister's of the bride)
taking photos of their gorgeous darlings
Louisa is the eldest of the family.
I was very happy to take a photo of her, Roger and the children.
George, Oliver & Madeline have played a very big part in the lives of our children as they have grown up.
Edward (Olivia's brother) hamming it up with Tim
Tim & Anson got the job of transporting the peonies from the church to the venue.
The reception was held at Centrewood Estate.
It was a gorgeous venue.
Funnily enough if is owned by the brother of Tim's cousin's daughter-in-law, so we made ourselves known to Johnny & Jo before we left.
They run a really great business.
Thoroughly recommend them!
The grounds are stunning.
This is my most favourite photo of the day.
The 1st of November is also the wedding anniversary of Olivia's parents.
It was their Golden Wedding Anniversary so we had a wee celebration with them while the bride & groom were away having their photos taken.
Congratulations Les & Christine
We were served drinks and canapés as we milled around outside and chatted among ourselves.
Then the happy couple arrived back.
Some more family photos were taken.
Olivia with her two bros and bros-in-law & father
The Outlaws!
Les & Christine with all their children and spouses.
The inside of the marque before we all ventured in for the evening.
The meal was lovely.
It was interspersed by speeches.
Then the music began and the dancing.
It was a fun night.
Marah reckons she was splitting her sides as she videoed me and Anson dancing to 'Gangnam Style'
So I guess that was the highlight of the evening
We finally called it a night around 11:30pm and headed off back to Inglewood.
Sharon was still up so we had a chat and then fell into bed.
Some fell quicker than others!
Let's just say Anson had enjoyed his night
